Chapter 1000 A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Who knows, if you guys are obedient and grow up well, maybe I will come back."

After some pulling, the piece of meat was finally sent out.

Zhou Guo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to knock on the second door.

It opened as soon as I knocked. I guess I had been watching the fun from the sidelines for quite some time.

It took the eight families living together more than half an hour to deliver all the meat.

Zhou Guo wiped the sweat from his head and thought that it would be better to give gifts to wealthy families. It would save trouble and he could just give it to them. It would be tiring to go through all this trouble!

The old man said with a smile: "I told you to hang it on the door directly, but you didn't listen and insisted on knocking on the door. They are all ordinary and honest people, so you have to argue for a while, right?"

Zhou Guo said: "Gifts should be given to people in their hands. How can you give gifts like this? Although there was some tugging and pulling, I saw that they were very happy. They were very happy holding the meat. I think my gift was very good."

The old man said, "Humph, that's not very good. A piece of meat like that costs more than a hundred coins, close to two hundred coins. If a family saves, it can last for a long time. It's not a happy thing."

Zhou Guo didn't think it was a big deal. The eight families only spent a little over one yuan, and they had helped a lot over the past few days, so they were willing to spend the money.

Early the next morning, after everyone had finished breakfast, Zhou Guo was walking around the yard with a cup of tea. After all, he had lived here for almost twenty days and he still had some feelings for the place.

After turning a few steps, there was a knock on the door.

She turned around.

Xiaoshu went to open the door, and sure enough, it was Gouya and his gang, with the usual few following them.

She smiled, put the tea bowl to her lips and took a sip of tea, and said, "Sit down, they don't want to, right?"

Gou Ya was startled, with an apologetic face, and blushed as she said, "I'm so sorry, they didn't know what was good for them. They said there was no place like home and they just wanted to stay home. I beat them and scolded them, but when I woke up in the morning, they ran off to hide somewhere and I couldn't find them for a long time."

Zhou Guo nodded.

Gou Ya glanced at her and continued, "I really think their future life will be better with you. I hope you don't mind."

The first move was extraordinary. You could tell from what Zhou Guo was wearing and the clothes of the people around her. I didn't know what material it was made of, but it shone with golden light wherever she moved. Seeing the good days ahead, these children were so ignorant that they insisted on staying at home to suffer.

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Don't blame them. They can't leave home and you can't force them. It's the same if you take them with you. In time, you will definitely lead them to make a name for themselves. They don't have to go with me. If you go, you might lose a few brothers, which is not worth it."

She is very busy there all year round. If she wants to come back, it will take more than two months to go back and forth, which will delay a lot of things.

Seeing that she was not angry, Gou Ya was relieved and said with a smile: "You are leaving, and I don't have anything to give you. I heard you said it would take a long time for you to return, so I brought you some food to eat on the way."

Two baskets, six cooked chickens, six roasted ducks, more than thirty boiled eggs, and smoked bacon and fish, all meat.

Zhou Guo looked at the two baskets of chickens and ducks and asked, "How many chickens have you given us? Do you have any more chickens at home?"

Gou Ya said, "Besides, I have so many of them. Besides, we can hatch chicks in the spring. I have already selected the eggs. I will eat them anyway."

Zhou Guo had no choice but to accept the kindness from others, but the carriage was really unfit for passengers at the moment because it smelled too strong.

After a while, there was another knock on the door. "Young man, please open the door. You are leaving today and I have nothing to prepare. I have a jar of pickled radish here. You like to eat it, right? I'll bring you some. Eat one when you are tired on the road. It will help you to refresh yourself."

All the neighbors have arrived.

Erpang hurried to open the door.

There was a group of people standing outside the door.

Everyone was holding all kinds of delicious food in their hands, carrying baskets, jars, and cloth bags, and they swarmed in and rushed towards Zhou Guo.

Zhou Guo quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Are all the aunts and uncles here?"

Everyone put the things in their hands on the table, and those that couldn't fit on the table were placed on the ground, forming a pile on the floor.

Zhou Guo looked at these things with his mouth open: steamed buns, pickled vegetables, eggs, smoked fish balls, pancakes, and even live chickens and ducks.

"You are leaving soon, and we don't have anything else to give you. Take these with you on your journey."

Zhou Guo was very touched and said, "Aunts and uncles, please leave these for your family to eat. We don't need them. We only have two carriages and few people. We can't take away too many things."

"Why can't you take them with you? I see that you can also tie things on the roof of your carriage. Besides, these things don't take up much space, so we can squeeze them in if we squeeze a little."

"Your home is in the north, and the journey back is not short. The more you eat, the emptier the car will be."

"You may think it's nothing now, but once you're really on the road and you can't find a place to stay in the wilderness, these things will be great. They can save your lives. Take them!"

Everyone was talking at once, and everyone was allowed to take it.

He was also eager to stuff these things into the carriage.

Early in the morning, several bodyguards had already harnessed the carriage.

Zhou Guo said hurriedly: "I accept it, I accept it. I accept the kindness of my aunts and uncles. Thank you so much for your concern and for thinking about the difficulties we encountered on the road."

Everyone said cheerfully, "What's the big deal? My husband has to go out twice a year. Every time he goes out, I have to prepare a lot of dry food for him. If he doesn't have enough, it won't be enough. Your house is so far away, so you have to prepare a lot of dry food."

“Yeah, don’t complain about having too many things and how hard it is to carry them. Sometimes you won’t be able to find a place to eat on the road, and you may even have to live in the wild.” A man’s voice sounded, and it was obvious that he had been out before.

Zhou Guo accepted them all.

The things at home had been almost packed up, with some extra pots, pans, kitchen utensils and a lot of firewood and charcoal left. Zhou Guo distributed the unused items.

"Aunties, please don't despise them. These bowls, plates, and cups were bought when we first arrived. We haven't used them many times, and we can't take them away anyway, so I'm giving them to you. Distribute a few to each family."

"Ouch!" A woman slapped her thigh, "You're going to share such a good thing with us?"

Although it's not a very good thing, it's much better than what they use. It's made of white porcelain. They all use black ceramic at home. It's incomparable and just looks good.

Each family was given a few bowls and plates, and she also distributed firewood and charcoal to everyone.

Those who live in the city have to buy these things.

Everyone happily took their things and went back home, and suddenly Gou Ya and his group were the only ones left in the small yard.
